Although only 25 years old, Henry Witt has 10 years of experience as a welder.
“I’ve been doing it in my garage since I was 15,” he said. “I bought my first welder at Tractor Supply and taught myself how to weld.”
With the products he made, he put himself through Missouri Welding School, Nevada, MO.
He is a full-service fabrication builder.
“It’s my passion,” he said. “I have always enjoyed doing something that lasts forever.”
“I spent four years as a union boiler maker in Emporia, KS,” he said. ” I decided to pursue my own business.”
The name of the business is H. Witt Fabrication.
“We do custom work. Anything metal you need to be built or repaired, we have full machining capabilities.”
Metal artwork, garden/lawn decor, and repair are some of the projects Witt has done.
“We can do prototyping, 3-D designs for customers to view the products,” he said.
His wife, Hunter, and he are both Fort Scott High School graduates, she in 2019 and he in 2018.
“She helps with everything and is an integral part of my operation.”
